According to Amazon, Indian users will have access to over 10,000 skills with Alexa, including support for apps like Saavn, ESPNcricinfo, Times of India, Freshmenu and Ola. It’s also worth noting that Amazon has launched the new version of the Echo here, which sports a dedicated tweeter and woofer. The company says some customers will get a 30% discount off the price of the Echo as an introductory offer. The company is also bundling a year-long subscription to Amazon Prime for those who buy the Echo speakers.

Unlike its other devices, the Echo speakers won’t be available on open sales in India yet. Amazon is directing customers to this link, where an invitation can be requested for buying the Echo. It seems requesting an invitation doesn’t guarantee you the chance to buy one of these speakers. Amazon sends you a text message and email stating that another email will be sent to you, if the company decides to send you an invite.
